Capital Campaign
We have an anonymous donor who has offered
to match dollar for dollar any pledges of $5 to $500 (up to a total match of $5,000) that are paid in cash before June 1st. This is a great deal! Double your giving power by just the stroke of a pen!
ADULT BOOK STUDY
Ends - Tuesday May 4th
6:30pm – 7:30pm at the Parsonage
Even if you have missed the previous sessions, you will be welcome at this one. We are discussing the book, Prayer Is Good Medicine, by Larry Dossey, MD. Dr. Dossey believes in using prayer in conjunction with modern medicine, not instead of it.
If you have any questions regarding the book study, please feel free to contact Mary L. Johnson at 239-4819.
Tweens / PreTweens:
We will be meeting on May 9th, from 2:30pm – 4:30pm.
Weather permitting, we will be finishing up our garden cleanup project and working on creating additional stepping stones. If it is raining, we will meet in the Fellowship Hall and work on our garden stones.
NOTE FROM THE SECRETARY:
Deadline for all JUNE Newsletter Articles is MAY 21st. All newsletter articles may be dropped off at the church office Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am & Noon, or e-mailed to the church office at unitedchurchofwinchester@myfairpoint.net. Due to time constraints, the deadline will not be extended.
In an attempt to save on postage expenses we have been e-mailing the newsletter to those members who have e-mail. However, we still have approximately 116 newsletters that are mailed to folks at an average cost of .66 cents per mailing, which amounts to a total expense of $76.56 each month or $918.72 annually (providing postage doesn’t increase). As you may recall, the cost for newsletter mailings was not made part of the operating budget for 2010. Donations are gratefully accepted to help defer the cost of these mailings.
Deadline for Sunday Bulletin & Weekly Window articles is every Tuesday by Noon.
All prayer concerns and/or articles may be dropped off at the church office Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am & Noon, or e-mailed to unitedchurchofwinchester@myfairpoint.net. Due to time constraints, the deadline will not be extended.
Have a publication / announcement where the church office is listed as the main contact? Please ensure that the Pastor and Administrative Assistant have all the necessary information on hand prior to the announcement being made to the public. Thanks
HOSPITAL VISITATIONS
The hospital is no longer giving out names of folks in the hospital when asked. So, if you know of someone who is in the hospital that might appreciate a visit, please notify one of the following individuals; Pastor Alison Jacobs (603-239-4465); Mary L. Johnson (603-239-4819) or the church Administrative Assistant (603-239-4465). When calling, please provide the individuals name and room number and we will make arrangements for someone to visit them.
FELLOWSHIP HOUR – MAY 9TH
Sandy Williams and Thelma Gomarlo are providing refreshments for Fellowship Hour on Mother’s Day, May 9th. They are looking for everyone to bring in a photo of their mother to display on a table in the Fellowship Hall during coffee hour.
WALK-A-THON WINCHESTER LEARNING CENTER
The WLC annual walk-a-thon took place yesterday, May 1st. Several members of the United Church of Winchester participated in the walk-a-thon. However, we are still in need of pledges. Walkers have noted miles walked on pledge sheets, in the event that you would like to pledge “per mile.” We thank everyone who supported this mission.
LADIES SOCIETY SUMMER SALE
Volunteers Needed!
The Ladies Society summer sale is fast approaching and they are in need of a “General Coordinator” as well as some younger folks to help with the heavy lifting and setup/cleanup of sale items.
Jackie Taylor, due to her recent surgery is unable to do any heavy lifting. She needs someone to step up to the plate and take over this responsibility, which consists of coordinating table setup/location, assisting in unloading boxes for the sale as well as repacking any items that are not sold. They could also use folks to help work the sale as well.
Setup begins on Friday, May 28th - Church Sexton will setup tables in the fellowship hall and transport all boxes of sale items from storage to the hall. Those ladies setting up inside will need assistance lifting boxes and unloading sale items onto tables or moving the tables around.
Saturday, May 29th beginning at 8:00am we will need volunteers to unload the boxes for rummage sale and put items on tables setup outside. Sale begins at 9:00am and runs until 2:00pm. At 2:00pm we will need volunteers to pack up any items that did not sell so that our Church Sexton can pick them up and put the boxes back in storage.
If rain is in the forecast for the day of the sale, then everything will be setup in the fellowship hall (same as holiday fair) and could be done on Friday. If you have any questions regarding this event or are willing to volunteer (even a few hours), please give Jackie Taylor a call at 603-239-4284.
